Dang thats pretty awesome! And technically it is a Rustler To 1/8 Buggy Conversion, theoretically it is a BackSlash conversion =P

Well, a backslash is converting a Traxxas SLASH into a buggy, so no. This is a Rustler (2wd) into a Buggy. But similar.. eitherway it's turning somthing from Traxxas into a Buggy.

Been awhile, but I have been working on other peoples cars. Here is an update.

Put rear A-arms up front.. I mounted the shocks to the inside.


So like a good buggy, all the wheels are even, and I can run front tires all around. Oh, and got my Slipstream Body.



Did some quick easy all black paint job and some decals.



My custom front body post mount, and CF shock tower..




Just for reference the Xtreme Racing chassis is 1 3/4" longer then the stock Rustler chassis, here is a comparison photo.

Im heading to the LHS to get some skid plates to take care of this.. TODAY.


Also, I ordered this.. HELLLLZZZZ YEAH.
http://www.xtremercracing.com/Store_...ShowLarge=True

PROJECT RUSTY BUG..


I also, put rear shocks up front for some better suspension and travel.. But I am ordering a set of aluminum shocks from the Losi Ten-T.. Traxxas stock shocks SUCK, but doing good for right now.

wow man that came out great...really like the choice of black...it's a nice contrast with the neon wing...i wish the wheels were as neon as the wing, instead of being a little faded...does someone make neon springs to match?...i know neon may not be the right word but i think you see where i am coming from...reminds me of Monster color scheme...without all the Monster decals...good job on it...you must be psyched with how it came out

Yeah, I got those wheels used on ebay.. I also have a black wing and white wheels which are for after these are no good. But im stocking up on wheels and tires. Im not to into the neon springs.. I just put the rated spring I wanted for performance on front and rear, didn't care about the color. Im not making a shelf queen this time around... It is gonna be very, very dirty soon enough.. and has already been a few times, during test runs... and thanks, glad you like it and Im VERY happy with it.. I love it.

It has the suction cup, but I have it screwed to the table.. I love this little vise, works great for everything.

DANG! Now that thing is straight up LEGIT. That fronst shock tower is just a little scary though. Try not to flip the thing.

Some updates...

Got my undertray/clamshell.. Love it.. protects the chassis and electronics.




Cleaned her up, put some skid plates on a new wing and some new wheels and tires... the first set were used ones I bought just for set up and testing during the build. I also put some new bearing carriers in the rear, giving me 1 degree of toe-in, and adjusted the camber and toe-in up front after some test runs at the track.



Took her to the track adter making some adjustments.. runs and handles great. Just can't wait to ditch those stock shocks, which keep coming unnscrewed.. happened like 3x that day. I just got my set of Pro-line powertroke shocks in the mail.. a bit on the expensive side but well worth it.. I also am selling the 5700kv motor which is a little much kv for this larger application of the Rustler.. I ordered a 3800kv. Also some other bits like... aluminum bellcrank, aluminum STRC front bulkhead and shock tower, and a RPM rear shock tower. Right now the car is completely broken down waiting for the parts to arrive and getting cleaned up.

Landing coming off the far right jump..

Same photo voomed out for a better view of the track.

Looks like im to nose down, but that hill slopes down on the back side, and this is coming off the lower jump (bottom left) and over the top one.. good landing angle.

Glamor shot... Ill have the video camera with me next time.



PS- don't forget this is for sale on my FS thread.. fast motor.
